Taking The Act on Road

That's right. We took the Condo Handyman (and Handywoman) show on the road. Seth's mom recently updated her kitchen. All that was left to do was get an island for the middle of the room. She shopped around quite a bit, but couldn't find one that was the right size for the space. As a holiday gift, Seth and I decided to modify the one she had used for years in the old kitchen.

Why get something new when we could re-purpose something time-tested and mother-approved?

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas! And slice and dice on!
